Another Opportunity: Nurse Corps Applications Are Open
It’s not too late to apply to join HRSA’s Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program: this program can help pay up to 85% of educational debt for registered nurses, advance practice registered nurses, and nurse faculty members in exchange for working in critical shortage facilities (CSF) or serving as nurse faculty in eligible nursing schools. Recipients must have received their nursing education from an accredited school of nursing located in a U.S. state or territory and work full-time in an eligible CSF or accredited school of nursing.

Health Centers: Share These Opportunities with Your Clinicians
With $1 billion in additional funding through the American Rescue Plan, HRSA will be able to make a record-breaking number of awards this year. In 2021, the NHSC was able to award all eligible applicants, regardless of their site’s HPSA score, making the largest numbers of awards in our history last year.
ACU invites health centers to help HRSA reach their goal of awarding a record number of clinicians again this year while supporting your workforce:
